Departure
On the roll, make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline within 27 m.
What happened: The takeoff roll drifted off the centreline by 27 m, and excess bank then carried through all three climb segments. A drifted roll like this usually leads into wandering bank angle through the climb.
Watch for: Watch the heading indicator and runway centreline during the roll, and the attitude indicator for wings level through the climb.

A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,373 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 614 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A320 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at LFPO Paris-Orly Airport, a process that took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 24, with a takeoff distance of 1,451 meters, which accounted for 43% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 170 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 13 knots from a direction of 290 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 10 knots and a headwind of 9 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead Chilly-Mazarin in the Ile-de-France region of France. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,317 feet above sea level to 34,461 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,144 feet, in 26 minutes and covering a distance of 179 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began overhead Peschadoires in the Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes region of France. This phase lasted for 7 minutes and covered a distance of 54 nautical miles. The enroute descent then started 1 mile south of Montregard in the Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes region, where the aircraft descended from an altitude of 34,596 feet above sea level to 1,739 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,856 feet, in 25 minutes and covering a distance of 113 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 31R at LFML Marseille Provence Airport was made from the southeast, with the aircraft heading 314.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,723 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 31R, which had a length of 3,373 meters. The threshold height at 56 feet above ground level was slightly above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 141 knots. The touchdown point was 193 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 130 knots, which was good, and a touchdown rate of -287 feet per minute, which was fair. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 17 knots from a direction of 320 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 17 knots. The total landing distance was 1,214 meters, which accounted for 36% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, a process that took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 354 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 70 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 3,089 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at LFML Marseille Provence Airport, achieving a high score of 97.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southeast, heading 314.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,723 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 31R, which has a length of 3,373 meters.
The threshold height at 56 feet agl was slightly above the target, but the threshold speed was well within the acceptable range at 141 knots. The touchdown point was 193 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 130 knots was also good, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for landing. However, the touchdown rate of -287 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have been slowed down more effectively during the descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 14°C and a wind speed of 17 knots from 320°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 17 knots, which the aircraft successfully managed. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,214 meters was 36% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the aircraft was able to slow down quickly and efficiently after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for taxiing after landing. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, and the aircraft was able to safely touch down on the runway.
